Where to stay in Ninth Ward

The Cajun Encounters tour took me to the Honey Island Swamp where I saw my first up-close, wild alligator. Not just one, but a whole bunch! Not to mention the turtles and local birds that are a lot different from the birds I'm used to in the north. 

Our tour guide, Bishop, was fantastic. He was funny, personal, and knew his stuff. He also managed to attract not just gators but wild pigs as well. 

If I go back to New Orleans--no--WHEN I go back, I fully intend on going on this tour again.

Getting to our room became a hassle throughout our trip. Staff was helpful, but it just took away that each time we left ...

Great stay. There was a slight problem at check in but we were very happy with the resolution. Staff was great. Be aware that parking is not affiliated with the hotel and initially may be a little difficult to navigate but is easy once you figure it out.
